<~HISTORY BEHIND THE MOD~>
******************************************
Well this mod started when Mythos_Ruler contacted me about making a mod for a scen of his called Thermopylae ~ The Gates of Fire. He wanted me to make the hoplites look a bit more historically correct which I was totally for and change Theseus into King Leonidas. Later the greek villager got added to the "to be historically accuratized" mod list. After viewing the excellent references Mythos sent me I went straight to work. Soon I came across the great greek style shield avatars used in WildFireGame's 0ad forums and I decided they would be perfect for the mod. So Mythos contacted (because he is working on the 0ad project as well) the good people at WFG and got permission to use the avatars.
After several failed textures and ideas I finally perfected it and had it tested by several people.
*************************************
<~ SPECIAL NOTES ~>
*************************************
Thank you for downloading The Historical Hellenic Hoplite Mod. I would like to thank Mythos_Ruler for giving me the idea for this and providing me with such great historical referances and great advise on this mod. I would also like to thank GloryofSparta for her
valuable input and support on this mod and finally I would like to thank the good people at WildFireGames for allowing me to use some of their 0ad avatars for the shield textures (In particular, I would like to thank the creator Ryan Karsten AKA IrishStag).
I appolagise for a two inaccuracies. The first one was a sword on the hoplies side, unfortunantly the sword looked stupid and warped on the model so it was decided to be removed. The second inaccuracy is the cinematic spears, I would have corected it if I had the US$30 000 program however. I sincerely appolagise for this inacuracies.

I havent downloaded, but i've seen some screenshots, and the textures are top notch! It clearly shows unique textures, even if you used the shields textures for OaD. It is still very cool. The cool thing is that you managed to put some accurate history upon this work.
Additional Comments: very nice, and a 5 should be rewarded to such mod, even if doesnt have a new 3d model.:)

Stop it tasev. That is down right dumb. Rating yourself and giving others low score. *sigh*.
I was just saying that Macedon has not much direct relation with the Spartans.
Besides, the word lacedaemon is English. And it seems I have a stronger English education then you since I live in Canada, and the offical language is English.[Edited on 01/19/05 @ 02:07 AM]

The reason this mod doesn't have any new models or animations is to keep the mod MULTIPLAYER friendly. :) Centurion_13 did alter the hoplite model slightly to give the Champion hoplite a verticle crest rather than a transverse crest that was usually only reserved for strategoi (generals). However, this in no way alters the animation or actual model of the unit (just replaces one attachment with another), so the mod stays multiplayer-compatible! :D
Oh yeah, and I refuse to DL this other fellow's mod because A.) He's being an idiot, and B.) His mod isn't multiplayer-friendly. :) |

I thank everyone for their good reviews.
it seems the problem only occured because I forgot to put some of my new textures in the texture folder after hexing the models.
Now, if tasev11 really is tasev, a simple IP check can be performed and I am sure it will be.
If the IPs match, then tasev and tasev11 will get a ban ranging from a week to forever.
if they do not match, only tasev11 will be banned. |

It's rather suspicious. You see, both of their typing ends with this:
tasev11's:
You cant mess with a 30 year old person.I just turned 30 Jan.18.
Man that is gooooooood.Bueatiful job!
It would be a great addition to lamacedonian or something.
tasev's
its not me somebody with the same last name as me is doing that.My account is tasev their account is tasev11.I dont know why he is making my rated 5
someone is trying to get me in trouble.My account is tasev his is tasev11.Hes trying to make me be bad.As you can see I reviewed a 5 on centrions.Tasev11 reviewed a 1.Its not me.Blame it on tasev11
Notice the spacing behind the period. Also, note the spelling errors.
Note this post:

taSEV11 STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.What the heck?Stop making me in TROUBLE.
Now, this looks painfully obvious that he forgot to change account.

I had the same observations about the poor grammar, but wondered if anyone else noticed. |
